I'm still doing the exercise thing. I ran/jogged 3.75 miles today. It's supposed to be my easy day, but yesterday I woke up too late and only finished 2.25 miles. I should be at 4.5 miles on my easy days and at least 5 for the cardio days. A... Read more

Sunday I finished my first 10K for 2011. I did the Capitol 10K in Austin and those hills kicked my tired body. I improved my time from last year, but I really should have trained more prior to the race doing a few hills several weeks before th... Read more

Well, I made it through our Spring Break and kept up with my fitness goals and calorie count. This is huge for me considering when I am at home for three or more days the calorie counts or exercise routines usually go out the window!

It's Texas cold--i.e. low 30s, but it really zaps my energy to get out and run. I attempted my daily run this morning and barely made it for 1.5 miles. This really frustrates me because I know I can do better! Yesterday I ran 3.5 miles and di... Read more

I just competed in our Sausage Stampede 5K and was impressed with my finish time of just over 39 minutes. I have never done a 5K--I always started with 10Ks. This was a good boost to help me keep my focus for the spring Capitol 10K I always pa... Read more

Well, I guess it's official--I look like I am losing weight. Today one of my former students came up to me and asked if I had been taking botox. He said I no longer look old, I actually look a lot younger! One of the best compliments coming f... Read more

Well, I have finally reached another mini goal and now it is making me self conscious. I wanted my weightloss to be noticeable, but now people are coming by asking, "How much weight have you lost?" or "What are you doing, did you stop eating?" ... Read more

Well, I went to my doctor this morning. It's been three months to the day and I kind of went in bracing myself for bad news. I knew I had lost several inches but I haven't seen the need for a new wardrobe. Imagine my shock when she was review... Read more

WOO HOO! I can't belive it!
I had the urge to go shopping and look for some clothes for my upcoming vacation and was pleasantly surprised I am one size smaller. I was doing my happy dance in the dressing room--I'm sure the ladies in the oth... Read more

Well, I survived another Saturday party and did not over do it. I was pretty cautious the entire time because there were a couple of foods where I had no idea about the caloric value. Fortunately once I added them to my nutrition tracker, I w... Read more

The past week has been great. Usually the weekends are horrible because I am surrounded by food in my house all day. However I spent a few hours putting all of the snack food (chips, nuts, graham crackers, etc) in snack sized baggies--made my o... Read more
